Reusing furniture for temporary urban spaces

Reusing furniture for temporary urban spaces is both sustainable and provides valuable insights for permanent solutions

Temporary urban spaces while we wait for the cities

More and more people are still moving to the city. This results in constant change and development in urban areas, requiring renovations and new constructions. Between the upcoming and ongoing constructions lie the temporary urban spaces, increasingly utilized as part of this development. By & Havn, as the developer, has recently established a temporary urban space with input from residents, associations, and business entities in the district. Common desires expressed included more greenery, additional places for relaxation and gathering, street food and retail options, enhanced safety-oriented lighting, art, and playful elements. Based on these desires, By & Havn initiated temporary measures such as benches with integrated lighting, sculptural seating furniture and light installations, trees, food trucks, eco-cabinets, etc.
